Looks like Lee is currently away for now.

From the my computer window, you double clicked on the J: drive and it took your straight to that window contained on those screen shots?

Also if you are looking for Documents, try Users\<Your Account's Username*>\Documents

I saw that you also had some of your files saved to the desktop. To access these files try Users\<Your Account's Username*>\Desktop

Alternatively, in your search pane if you are looking for a file with a specific extension i.e. .exe .doc .mp3 etc...
You can type *.<extension**> Then press Enter


thanks for answering me, but I don't care anymore. Lee really hurt my feelings and just ran. We were doing great, I don't understand this. I am too dumb for this. I will just live with it.





*For example Users\Public\Ducoments
** For example *.xls

[ImaBrokeDude]

Do not worry Patti, I will take over and provide the help you need.

[PattiChati]

This must be where Lee thought I had two downloads in there

[ImaBrokeDude]

You are correct, remember though at the level you two were working at ONLY follow the given instructions and NEVER work ahead. It can confuse your helper.

[ImaBrokeDude]

If you would like to continue, you would only select the partition named <no name>

Make sure Enable Access To Restricted Folders is *NOT* Checked, then press OK

Yes I will continue as long as you know I am trying my hardest, I am not lying and I am trying to Google everything. to see if I can find answers without bothering you. I have done nothing without asking first. I don't think I was ahead of Lee, I know he didn't like that. I was trying so hard to follow him to the letter. I sure appreciate you taking me on, thank you. I did the above and what I saw is posted in #101. You say if I am looking for Documents, there is no documents listed there. I would be looking for my backed up documents and programs. I assumed when you go to your backup, your programs would be listed and you could restore one or two and see the contents. But I cannot.

This application does not compile a list of document and applications. Instead it creates a back of every file on your hard drive. When you open that image, you are seeing the entire contents of the harddrive at the time it was imaged.

Note that in the example Users\Public\Desktop most likely will not have any documents.

Instead replace Public with the username you are currently using on your computer when you logged in.

I don't log into my computer. There is no public. If I go to change users there are two icons, both with my name. I just wanted to find my documents. Maybe the Marium reflect is not the easiest way to do this, what do you think. Also when you say Users\public\desktop - where do I put that in. Here is a screenshot of what I see when I open rflect. On the left is not part of the backup is it? When I open a file it says it is opening disk K? I don't even have a disk K

[ImaBrokeDude]

When you explore the reflect image, It opens the image as a virtual disk.

To the computer it is named K:

For these purposes when we continue assume we are working in the K: drive until otherwise noted.

Please post a screenshot of K:\Users\ on your next reply.

Also note when you click on your start button you will see the name of the user you are currently on.

Screenshot:



Dilligaf being in place of the user you are currently logged into.

On the second screenshot there is a folder named Users



Please go to that folder and post a screenshot here.

I did that and hit public and THERE are my folders!! When I backed up and it asked what you wanted to backup, I didn't not say programs, I didn't know what to check so I left it where they had it. I notice it didn't have my microsoft windows 2010. It got misplaced when we were getting rid of malware. I can find it on my drive C, but not the backup, but doing what you just said I got it. I am going to have to take notes on how to do all this stuff. I am excited that I found my programs. I lost my diamond earring the other day and am sick about it, but hey, I found my programs today!!

[PattiChati]

Just another thought, when I went to disk K, it had 4 backups I think, Not all reflect, but I was denied access to all but public, why is that?

[PattiChati]

You can "copy and paste" any of the folders (photos. documents, music etc) back to C: or to disk any time you like, but you cannot move or delete them from the ISO ---this is what Lee told me and why I was so confused because there were no folders to open I don't think I read post #114, do you want me to do something there?

[ImaBrokeDude]

Those were actually User Accounts.

Right now access protection was left enabled but in the event that you need to recover and file from the other accounts,

when exploring your reflect image, select the partition deemed <no name>

Make sure Enable Access to Restricted Folders *IS* checked and press ok

Once again however, I would like for you to go back one folder so that in the bar on the top of you windows reads K:\Users\

Screenshot:


and post a screenshot of that directory.
